1. Left, Right (Front Speakers)
Front speakers carry primarily music and sound effects.
2. Center
In surround mode, the center speaker carries most of the dialog as well
as music and effects.
It should be set between the left and right speakers.
3. Surround (Rear Speakers)
The surround speakers’ overall sound balance should be as close as
possible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an
evenly distributed sound field.
4. Subwoofer
A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass effects
(explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.).
Magnetic Shielding
Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set must be magnetically
shielded in order to prevent picture distortion. Center speaker provided
with this unit is magnetically shielded to protect your TV set.
Front Speaker Placement
For best results, follow the speaker
placement below.
Alignment
Align the center speaker evenly with (A)
or slightly behind (B) (the left and right
speakers), but not ahead of them.
Angle
Place the left and right speakers
to form a 45-degree angle with
your favorite viewing position to
duplicate the soundtrack mixer’s
perspective.
Height
The three front speakers should
be as close as possible to the same
height. This often requires placing
the center speaker directly on top
(A) or beneath (B) the TV set.

Connecting the speakers
Speaker wires are color-coded to match the terminals. Connect the
speaker wire from the back of each speaker to the corresponding color
terminal at the back of the unit. Press down the tab to open the terminal
and insert the wire. Release the tab to lock wire in the terminal.
When connecting the speakers, make sure the polarities (“+“ speaker
wire to “+“ on the unit. For example, red wire to red terminal on the
unit) of speaker wires and terminals match.
If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted. Do not let the
speaker wires touch each other, it will damage the Home Theater’s
amplifier.
AM Loop Antenna and FM Indoor Antenna
1. Uncoil the antenna wire and locate the base end of the AM antenna.
2. Press down on the antennas tab to open the terminal.
3. Insert the antenna wires into the terminal and release the tabs to secure the wires in place.

Better Surround Placement
Location
If possible, place surround speakers to either side of the listening area,
not behind it.
Height
If space permits, install surround speakers 2-3 feet above viewers. This
helps to minimize localization effects.
Aiming
Aim surround speakers straight across the room, not down at viewers, to
help create a more open, spacious surround sound field.
Courtesy Dolby Laboratories
Alternative Surround Placement
Rear wall
If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the speakers at each other
(A), towards the front (B) or towards the sidewalls (C, D).
Experiment with placement until sounds seem to surround you, rather
than come from behind you.
No adjacent walls
Surround speakers can go on stands facing each other to approximate
sidewall mounting (A), or to the sides or rear of the viewing area, aimed
upwards; they can go right on the floor, or preferably, a few feet off the
floor such as on end tables (B).

Sound Enhancement Systems
This receiver is equipped with several built-in sound enhancement
systems.
Dolby Digital
The Dolby Digital mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from
software processed in the Dolby Digital format. Dolby Digital provides
better sound quality and a more powerful presence than conventional
Dolby Surround. This unit is equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel
so that you can enjoy enhanced full digital surround sound. Different
from Dolby Pro Logic in that only four channels (Front Left, Front Right,
Center and Rear) are used, the new system provides stereo separation of
the rear speakers (Rear-Right, Rear-Left). Adding the subwoofer channel
to the 5 channels for bass sounds (counted as 0.1 channel) results in 5.1
channels (or 6 Channels) input Dolby Digital for that bring you the most
sophisticated sound enjoyment.
Dolby Pro Logic II
The Pro Logic II mode uses the built-in circuit to steer the Left, Center,
Right and Surround left and right channel audio signals and uses all five
speakers to play both stereo and Dolby Pro Logic program source, such
as TV and VCR.
Dolby Pro Logic II
includes Dolby Pro
Logic II Movie, Dolby
Pro Logic II Music
and Dolby Pro Logic
Emulation.
You can use this
mode with any
stereo program
source (such as VCR/
TV) to enjoy multi-
channel sound
experience.
Center Speaker
Stereo
The Stereo mode uses the two main channel outputs from the front
speakers and subwoofer speaker. Use this mode if you have connected
the front speakers only.
DSP (Digital Sound Processor)
These digital sound effects resemble sounds in a real environment such
as (HALL, CHURCH, STEREO, DOLBY PL EMULATION, DOLBY PL II MUSIC,
DOLBY PL II MOVIE). DSP automatically converts analog audio signals to
digital ones which enables you to adjust the sound without degrading
the sound quality. Different modes will give you different feels of size
and types of listening environment.
Press SUBWOOFER button to select the subwoofer effects level
according to you needs. Four settings are available: BALANCE, STRONG,
POWERFUL and SOFT.
Manufactured under license from Dolby
Laboratories. Dolby, Pro Logic, and the double-D
symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.
Fine Setting of the Components
You can select the surround mode by pressing SURROUND button
follow by
/ button to select among different options. (HALL/
CHURCH/CONCERT/LIVING ROOM/CAVE/ARENA/STEREO/DOLBY PL II

source, press the SURROUND button until “Dolby PL II MOVIE” appears
on the Display.
To play Dolby Digital sound, the source must be connected to the unit
via Optical or Coaxial terminals.
Fine Setting of the Speakers
All the basic settings have already been preset for the speakers included
in the box.
Also, to make the surround sound more effective and suit the acoustic
conditions in your listening room, you may need to delay the signal
coming from some of the speakers. Channel delay compensates for
center or surround speakers that are closer to the listening position
than the front speakers.
